Tourists were surprised to see a woman driving a huge orange tractor down one of Rome’s main avenues. Italy’s political leaders and some of its male union chiefs are said to have been even more puzzled to see that the tractor was followed by about 200,000 women in a parading procession that took more than three hours to
snake through central Rome.
Shouting slogans, waving flags and dancing to drumbeats, the women had come to the capital from all over Italy to demonstrate for "a job for each of us, a different type of job, and a society without violence." So far, action to improve women’s opportunities in employment has been the province of collective industrial bargaining. "But there is a growing awareness that this is not enough," says a researcher on female labor at the government-funded Institute for the Development of Professional Training for works.
Women, who constitute 52 percent of Italy’s population, today represent only 35 percent of Italy’s total workforce and 33 percent of the total number of Italian with jobs. However, their presence in the workplace is growing. The employment of women is expanding considerably in services, next to the public administration and commerce as their principal workplace. Official statistics also show that women have also made significant strides in self-employment. More and more women are going into business for themselves. Many young women are turning to business because of growing overall in employment. It is also a fact that today many prejudices have disappeared, so that banks and other financial institutes make judgments on purely business considerations without caring if it is a man or woman.
Such changes are occurring in the professions too. The number of women doctors, dentists, lawyers , engineers and university professors increased two to three fold. Some of the changes are immediately visible. For example, women have appeared on the scene for the first time as state police, railway workers and street cleaners.
However, the present situation is far from satisfactory though some progress has been made. A breakthrough in equal opportunities for women is now demanded.
What does the author mean by "
snake through central Rome
"?
选项
A、A snake was winding its way through central Rome.
B、The strikers were walking in a long winding line through central Rome.
C、Tourists drove a huge orange tractor through central Rome.
D、The tractor was followed by about 200,000 women.
答案
B
解析
选项B对应第一段最后一句。从这一句可以看出有20万女性在进行游行示威,他们用了3个多小时穿过罗马市区中央,这里的“snake through”意思是“像蛇一样穿过”,选项B是一个同义替换,其中的“striker”是“游行示威者”的意思,“winding”的意思是“蜿蜒的”。选项A无中生有,文中没有提到有蛇穿过罗马。选项C无中生有或者说曲解文意,根据第一段第一句来看,开拖拉机的人是一个女人。选项D对应文章最后一句的内容,但是却没有解释题目中的这个短语的意思,属于答非所问。
